Publisher's Summary

An Inspector Bonaparte Mystery.

In an isolated hut not far from the sleepy country town of Merino, stockman George Kendall is found dead and it looks very much like murder. Six weeks later, when the murderer is still at large, another stockman turns up in the township and, as a first move, provokes the local sergeant to lock him up. This particular stockman is Detective-Inspector Napolean Bonaparte, and there's method in his seeming madness. While serving a semi-detention sentence and being made to paint the police station, he wears the best of all possible disguises for a policeman on the trail of a ruthless and single-minded killer.

Once again we go into Australia to visit one of my favorite detective.
Detective Inspector Napoleon Bonaparte, Boney to all of his friends, takes on a very interesting investigation. the murders motivations are baffling and putting the half white half black abilities to the test. Facing a truly devious killer.
Join this unusual detective on this thrilling and well written novel. Upfield dose a wonderful job of transporting the reader from where ever they are into a very harsh lands of Australia.
Peter Hosking truly dose an amazing job of narrative. Showing afflictions, and personality, accent, and definitely his dramatic side in this book. very well done.
As ever much thank from Author to narrator and everyone involved in the production of this book into the Audible format.
